\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tIn between art dealer Leo Braudy\u2019s professional commitments at Art Basel Miami Beach, he met up with fellow reality TV star Jill Zarin\u2019s daughter, Ally Shapiro, poking fun at their respective love life struggles. \u201cToo soon?\u201d Ally, 31, captioned a Wednesday, December 4, TikTok video that she filmed with her mother, 61, and Leo, 31. [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cI just thought he was a great character and I could relate to him on a lot of levels,\u201d Shapiro said. \u201c[My mom] slid into his DMs and we planned to meet during Basel [in] early December. Right before Basel, Leo called me and I was like, \u2018What\u2019s going on?\u2019 Apparently, he\u2019s a big talker. Now that I know him well, [I know] he loves phone calls and voice notes.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the influencer, she \u201creally connected\u201d to Braudy after they started chatting.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, at the time, I wasn\u2019t looking for anything serious. I had just gotten out of an engagement<\/a> and so did he,\u201d Shapiro said. \u201cWe were both at Basel and he didn\u2019t really know that many people because he\u2019s newer to the reality scene.\u201d<\/p>\n\n![\"Jill](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Jill-Zarins-Daughter-Ally-Clarifies-Relationship-Status-With-Love-Is-Blind-Alum-Leo-Braudy.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")
